Demon's Rise - War for the Deep

I couldn't recommend it. It is a good amount of content for the price, and there is an interesting variety of character/class types, but it is lacking compared to other tactics games. I would suggest looking at something like Fell Seal, XCOM, BattleTech, Warhammer 40000 Gladius, Disgaea, Warborn, Monster Sanctuary, Monster Train, Into the Breach, or Banner Saga instead, all of which can often be found on sale for close to the same price. Card Hunter or Warbands Bushido are also similar and free. +Wide range of characters/classes +Choose a party of 6 +Variety of abilities +Variety of equipment +Speed up toggle +Difficulty adjustment +Can repeat missions for XP/gold -Barebones options -Very minimal story/background -No key rebinding -Tooltips/info often lacking -No visible turn order -Autosave only -No way to choose formation/starting layout -No voiced dialogue/narration -Speed toggle is not saved / must adjust every battle

Playdough-like graphics, torpid gameplay, and an interface that only an asset-flipper could love; Demon's Rise should have never left the mobile platform.

Believe it or not, "Demon's Rise - War for the Deep" is not an asset flip. While the game is made primarily out of other people's assets, with placeholder/stock assets and engine elements all taken from asset stores, the developer credited the people who created those assets, which means this isn't the usual attempt to pass of someone else's work as their own. However, while we understandably must call out and warn gamers about the unethical behaviour behind plagiarism and asset flipping, there's the other main reason we hate asset flips (even if this isn't exactly one). It's because they're awful if you try to take them seriously as a game. This is because, and it should be no surprise, when "developers" can't work out how to create their own professional game assets, or lack the budget to hire staff who can, it turns out they're also not really capable or competent at any of the other parts of game development either. And that results in awful games. Games like "Demon's Rise - War for the Deep". "Demon's Rise - War for the Deep" is a Nintendo Switch game, not a PC game. It's not a great port and suffers from a few technical defects from the handheld gaming centric design.…

There's the bones of a decent game in here, but just buried beneath bugs.

is really boring and mundane. don't waste your time

Really enjoyable, low stress turn based game.
